As mentioned above, egative film 26 preferably comprises a kind of fabric that applies the waterproof resin material.With reference to figure 3, make to be suitable for the impenetrable liquid of making egative film 26 but the method for flushable net comprises the following steps.The substrate 102 that one first side, second side relative with arranged coil stripping from female roller 104.Then substrate 102 is sent into the first stamp station 105, in stamp station 105, comprised 108, one first graining rolls 110 in one first bottom surface and one first feed roller 106.First bottom surface 108 is and the 110 relative arrangements of first graining roll, thereby forms one first roll gap betwixt.Periphery at first graining roll has many holes.In preferred embodiments, first bottom surface 108 comprises first a bottom surface roller around its major axis rotation.After resin material 200 being heated to other processing of fusing point or process, be transported to first graining roll, 110 places by one first conveying machinery device 111.Then this resin material 200 is imposed on and inject substrate 102.
If for guaranteeing that whole transverse width that resin material 200 passes substrate 200 evenly applies when needing use tenslator and tracking means (not shown), then can use this device as known in the art in the method.
Supply the waterproof resin material 200 that is in a liquid state to first graining roll 110.If at room temperature this resin material 200 is solid-state, then can be heated its temperature more than fusing point.In addition, also can use under the room temperature is the resin material of liquid condition.For example, can adopt the prepolymer that comprises the chemism end group.In this case, behind substrate 102 surfaces and inside deposition resin material 200, must in ensuing curing schedule, will convert to solid-state as a kind of resin material 200 of liquid prepolymer.For example, suitable prepolymer curable when photochemical radiation is arranged.
In this method embodiment preferred, first resin material 200 is heated to its fusing point at least, resin material 200 can be flowed.
First graining roll 110 provides one first peripheral speed along its first major axis rotation.Substrate 102 passes first roll gap transmission that is formed by first graining roll 110 and first bottom surface 108 with a transfer rate with respect to first graining roll 110 and first bottom surface 108.Flowable first resin material 200 is put into the hole of first graining roll 110.Pass first roll gap under the situation that substrate 102 contacts in the hole with first graining roll 110, therefore flowable first resin material 200 is administered on the substrate 102 from the hole of first kind of graining roll 110.
Though rotary printing method is known in the art, but be different from existing method part in this method that describes and proposes claim and be according to the present invention flowable first resin material 200 is applied in the process on the substrate 102 appearance first speed difference between the peripheral speed of the transporting velocity that transmits substrate 102 and first graining roll 110.Therefore first peripheral speed of first graining roll 1 10 first speed difference occurs at least about 100% the transporting velocity greater than substrate 102.Term " speed difference " limits as follows:
(peripheral speed-transporting velocity)/transporting velocity * 100%
Preferred first speed difference is to arrive in about 500% the scope about 100%, more preferably is approximately 300% to 350%.
First speed difference makes the graining roll 110 of winning in the shearing motion mode first resin material 200 is applied in substrate 102 surfaces or inner, and therefore within it portion obtain all first resin materials 200 of even single administration, thereby this resin material 200 penetrates substrate 102 and occupies substrate 102 clearance spaces and cavity.This smearing under shear stress used substrate thickening when preventing to use first resin material 200.Thickness is to use the caliber gauge of the Model 65.503 of Japanese Ono Sokki Co. supply to press at 0.95 inch (2.4cm) diameter under the qualification pressure of foot and 0.1 pound/square inch (0.7 kPa) and measures.
As mentioned above, the smearing method determined of first speed difference make first resin material 200 in substrate 102 than common rotary printing method allow to penetrate dark.As non-limiting example, the method following according to the present invention be to the hole that 3.5mm * 1.5mm is arranged, and thickness is to inject resin in the paper of Tad in hole of 0.5mm.After the blade coating process, the resin in the hole has the thickness of 0.10mm to 0.34mm after measured.What is interesting is, on the surface of the coating net 202 that contacts with bottom surface 108, resin material 200 occurred.First side towards the coating net 202 of graining roll 110 and spreading blade 112 does not have resin material 200 usually.In this embodiment, use track less than 1mm 2Have the thickness that the most advanced and sophisticated digital Vernier mircrometer gauge of opposition is measured this resin.Wherein thereby a tip is supported on the eyelid retractor and can measures constraining force.0.01 restrain the thickness of measuring the resin material 200 in the hole that applies net 202 under the constraining force between 1.00 grams.These readings can have the untouchable laser of a 1mm * 2mm visible rays and further definite by a displacement center.
First infiltration of resin material 200 in substrate 102 make the coating net 202 that obtains become impenetrable liquid simultaneously the thickness of substrate do not increase.In addition, the infiltration of resin material 200 in substrate 102 also improved resulting coating net 202 stretching, shear, tear and tear resistance.The hot strength that gained applies net 202 is the twice of the similar substrate net hot strength of same thickness at least.
Continuation is with reference to figure 3, and the roller that can also utilize various types in the inventive method includes, but not limited to screen printing roller and intaglio plate cylinder as graining roll 110.Screen printing is known in the art, illustrates in December in 1986 was authorized the United States Patent (USP) 4,628,857 (having introduced the present invention as a reference) of Coningsby on the 16th.The intaglio plate stamp also is known in the art, United States Patent (USP) 4,634,130 illustrated of authorizing people such as Sheath on February 17th, 1988, and its disclosure of the Invention is incorporated herein by reference with the explanation prior art.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, for graining roll 110, use be the screen printing roller.The thickness of preferred screen cloth is between 0.002 to 0.007 inch.Preferably, use the 50 order nero screen clothes that 50 * 50 holes are arranged per square inch.This hole is passed the plane and is measured 0.0035 inch, and with respect to location, 20 ° of angles of graining roll 110 circumferencial directions.If desired, during particularly meticulous if desired order size, can use chromed cellular screen cloth because of intensity.
Part from the graining roll 110 of resin to substrate 102 that use is known as the stamp district.If desired, graining roll 110 can also have the not zone of stamp, after this is known as non-stamp district.The stamp district only resin material 200 is deposited on the aligned substrate 102 in stamp district on.Similarly, the zone with the corresponding substrate 102 in non-stamp district will not have resin material 200 (if not completely) relatively.
If a gravure roll is elected to be first graining roll 110, then non-stamp district is the flat site that does not comprise the roller in intaglio plate hole simply just.If select the screen printing roller as first graining roll 110, then the screen printing roller has saturating dividing plate and stops first resin material 200 to pass the screen cloth of partition position.
Normally locate along its length and be parallel to the stamp roll shaft in non-stamp district.What this configuration obtained usually is the zone of locating and do not contain first resin material 200 on backing material 102 perpendicular to machine direction.Can utilize this configuration to provide if desired and be suitable for the net of making diaper chassis, wherein non-coating zone will be determined its lumbar region.
In addition, non-printing area also can be along the circumferential direction localized usually, and what obtain is substrate 102 zones of resin material 200 on the stamp along machine direction location and not.If desired, can be formed on the gained net that cross machine has suitable width with being with or without coating net 202 several multiple unit in resin material 200 zones and putting together.In the position in the non-stamp of correspondence district,, produce the stock roll (roll stock) that is used for subsequent production then along the coating area 202 of machine direction incision gained.This configuration can provide the benefit of large-scale production in the process of disposable absorbent article constructed in accordance.
First scraper 112 is to be used for guaranteeing that first resin material 200 is evenly to prepare across graining roll 110 whole application surface.First scraper 112 is settling with the surperficial discontiguous relation of first graining roll 110, and keeps static when graining roll 110 rotations, and the periphery that allows this scraper 112 to clean first graining roll 110.First scraper 112 can clash any first resin material 200 that does not place the single hole of first graining roll 110, like this to guarantee that all holes are all filled up fully.
First bottom surface 108 is slick, comprises a rotatable bottom surface roller or an immobilized surface.For the embodiment preferred in this narration, first bottom surface 108 comprises the bottom surface roller of a rotation.To provide competent joint between first resin material 200 in the hole of the substrate 102 and first graining roll 110, impel first resin material 200 first graining roll 110 and first bottom surface, 108 mutual extrusion to substrate 102 surfaces and inner smearing.
If select a kind of thermoplastic resin, then preferably first graining roll 110 is heated to prevent flowable first resin material, 200 premature settings as first resin material 200.Found that temperature is that the graining roll and first resin material 200 of about 270 (132 ℃) worked finely, and narrated processing conditions below.
(not shown) external heat first resin material 200 serves as liquid and suitable temperature and viscosity to keep resin material 200 by known methods.Usually the temperature of keeping first resin material 200 is a little more than its fusing point.If first resin material 200 is partly or entirely to be liquid, think that then this temperature is equal to or higher than its fusing point.If temperature is low excessively, first resin material just can not transferred on the substrate 102 from graining roll 110, perhaps, can next not be applicable to above-mentioned cleaning in the process again.On the contrary, if temperature is too high, then first resin material 200 is sticking inadequately, is not suitable in the process of cleaning, and perhaps this material may thermal degradation.And resin temperature should be too not high, can damage substrate 102 like that.In the time of on being applied to substrate 102, the temperature of preferred first resin material 200 is in about 200 °F (93 ℃) arrive the scope of about 250 (121 ℃).This temperature is higher than the fusing point of preferred CA-105 resin (will in following discussion), but is lower than the temperature of melt viscosity when very low.
Can randomly obtain cooling air from first air cooling system 114.This cooling air has cured and is necessary guarantee to impose on already first resin material 200 on the substrate 102 before applying net 202 further following processing.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, adopt two step cladding processes.Preferred two step of employing cladding processes are that this method provides the coating net 202 with higher impermeability under low coat weight because compare with a suitable step cladding process.In two step cladding processes, can in this stamp station, comprise 118, one second graining rolls 122 in one second bottom surface and one second feed roller 120 with applying in one second stamp station 205 of net 202 inputs.Utilize second graining roll 122 and second bottom surface 118 to use the second time of carrying out first resin material 200 with above-mentioned essentially identical mode by one second conveying mechanism 204 then.In addition, second resin material 400 that is different from first resin material 200 also can be used in second coating procedure.
Second speed difference in second coating step can equal, less than or greater than the speed difference in first coating step.Preferred second speed difference equals first speed difference, particularly when all using first resin material 200 in the first and second stamp stations 105,205.
Also can utilize second cooling air system 126 to guarantee to be applied to first resin material 200 of the substrate 102 that part applies or standby second resin material 400 in second coating step has cured before net 200 is being involved in finished product roller (finished roll) 130 applying.
To apply net 202 by second stripper roll 128 then and strip down, be involved in the finished product roller 130 from second graining roll 122.
In another embodiment of the present invention shown in Figure 4, be applied to simultaneously by the first stamp station 105 coating of using and the coating of using on the first and second relative sides of substrate 102 by the second stamp station 205.Therefrom as can be seen, the networking is by first graining roll 110 first resin material 200 to be applied to first side of substrate 102, by second graining roll 122 second resin material 400 is applied on second relative on the substrate 102 side.In addition, the step in each stamp station 105,205 can be basic identical with above-mentioned step.
As mentioned above, being suitable for the preferred group of fibers component of making substrate 102 is the fabric that wherein is mixed with the wet-laying of wet strengthening resin.Suitable fabric quantitatively be approximately per 3000 square feet 12 pounds, can be from Bellingham, the Georgia-Pacific Corp. of WA obtains, the trade mark is DST-1.Equally also illustrated, preferably on this wet stratified fabric, applied a kind of waterproof resin material and make its not saturating body fluid.The waterproof resin material that is suitable for use as resin material 200,400 is a kind of mixture of thermoplastic resin, can (Columbus OH) obtains, and the trade mark is CA-105 from Century International.Preferred coat weight is in about 0.005 gram/square inch (8 grams/square metre) arrives the scope of about 0.075 gram/square inch (116 restrain/square metre).More preferably coat weight at about 0.015 gram/square inch (23 gram/square metre) in the scope of about 0.035 gram/square inch (54 restrain/square metre).
When utilizing above-mentioned resin application process when a kind of like this waterproof resin coated materials is to the fabric of this wet-laying, the coating net of gained is a saturating body fluid not.Particularly, when the method for describing with " method of testing " part was tested, this coating net can be kept hydrostatic head and be at least about 15 centimetres.Preferred this coating net can be kept hydrostatic head and be at least about 18 centimetres.
The not only saturating body fluid of coating net of the present invention, and they lose mechanical integrity rapidly in being dipped in water the time, resolve into fragment.For example when using the described method of " method of testing " part to assess the erosion of this coating net sample, this applies net and the commercially available object of reference lavatory fabric (CHARMIN that is used as ) the performance basically identical.Be that coating net sample of the present invention will fragment into small pieces, pass test set easily, do not cause obstruction.The reduction of rupture strength is a kind of metering system of above-mentioned mechanical integrity loss when being exposed in the water.What show in the following table 1 is the rupture strength data of preferred egative film 26 samples of the present invention.
Table 1 coated fiber combination piece number 1 group of fibers component model DST-1 resin-coating material C A-105 coat weight 0.022g/ inch 2Rupture strength (gram) is done 1101 wet (flooding 20 seconds) 477 hygrochases (20 seconds)/dry and cracked 0.43 as can be seen, and the contraction when being exposed in the water in the explosion process (doing value after 20 seconds is 43%) is to such an extent as to mean that egative film 26 has fully been weakened it and will be dispersed into fragment under common toilet flushing process mild or moderate stirs.
The reason of egative film 26 lost strength mainly is because the waterproof resin material no longer makes the fleece waterproof.As what narrated in following " molectron of sanitary towel " part, the setting that comprises the coated fiber molectron of preferred egative film 26 is to make coating surface comprise the health face 26A of egative film 26.When assembling sanitary towel 20 by this way, with the waterproof resin material be arranged at egative film fiber module and will be by between those assemblies of the sanitary towel 20 of body fluid moistening (as top flat 24 and absorbent article core 28).Therefore this coating can prevent group of fibers component absorb body fluids, and this group of fibers component brings essential mechanical integrity can for egative film 26.
Be used for protecting the water-sensitive material that comprises egative film and the hydrophobic material (a kind of typical prior art water-sensitive material is that polyvinyl alcohol and a kind of typical prior art hydrophobic material are fluorocarbons) that uses in prior art, using the preferred waterproof resin material of the present invention is an improvement.Particularly, the hydrophobic material that uses in the prior art has low-down critical surface tension.For example, Teflon Critical surface tension less than 20 dynes per centimeter (Adamson A.W. Surface Physical Chemistry, 1976, John Wiley ﹠amp; Sons, New York, 354 pages).Other critical surface tension through the surface that fluorocarbons is handled also is similar.This low critical surface tension means that the absorbent device molectron will more be difficult to make, because low critical surface tension disturbs the bonding of adhesive, adhesive will can not launch on this surface this moment, can not adhere on this surface (low critical surface tension also is the basis of commercially available antifouling item for disposal, because stain can not be adsorbed onto on the surface of low critical surface tension) yet.This means and to guarantee do not have fluorocarbon (result is for guaranteeing those regional complexity of bringing production of fully aiming at regional and other component of sanitary towel), or the surface of fluorocarbon arbitrarily of adhesion zone is handled to improve its critical surface tension at bonding region.On the contrary, the surface that the present invention applies preferred waterproof resin material has the critical surface tension greater than 34 dynes per centimeter, and its measurement is to adopt the modification tappi test method of describing in following " test " method (T 698pm-83).Therefore, can use common production method assembling to adopt the sanitary towel of the preferred egative film of the present invention, and not need additional processing step.
Therefore as used in the present invention waterproof resin material can not only provide and have not the group of fibers component of saturating body fluid surface and (can support hydrostatic head, make it greater than 12cm), but also the coating net is provided, this netting gear has one be fit to use adhesive to be connected to surface (being that critical surface tension is greater than about 34 dynes per centimeter) on other parts. Top flat
Top flat 24 is submissive, soft feeling is arranged and do not stimulate wearer's skin.And this top flat 24 is a liquid, promptly allows body fluid (as menstruation and/or urine) easily to penetrate its thickness.This top flat should be still flushing and disperseing easily when running into mild agitation in common lavatory.The production material of suitable top flat 24 can be various, as air lay, and non-woven material wet-laying or combing.Suitable material comprises natural fiber (for example wood fiber or cotton fiber), synthetic fibers (for example polymer fiber such as polyester, polypropylene or polyethylene fibre) or natural fiber and with the assembly of synthetic fibers.
Preferred top flat 24 comprises the porose fabric of the wet-laying that wherein is mixed with temporary transient wet strengthening resin.The part of this top flat 24 is shown in Fig. 5 and 6.As illustrated in Figures 5 and 6, the wet method net-forming fabric that comprises preferred top flat 24 comprises the fibre assemblies of the wet-laying that big metering-orifice 50 is wherein arranged.Comprise the wood fiber though be used for the preferred fiber furnish of this fabric, preferably approximately 90% eucalyptus fibers and about 10% northern sulphite kraft fibers, other fibrous material comprises, but be not limited to natural fiber (for example wood fiber of other type or cotton fiber), synthetic fibers (for example polymer fiber such as polyester, polypropylene or polyethylene fibre), perhaps the assembly of natural fiber and synthetic fibers also is suitable, as long as this fiber be maybe can be processed into hydrophilic just passable.Can authorize the United States Patent (USP) 3,881 of Benz according on May 6th, 1975, the method described in 987 can be made the porous fabric of this wet-laying on a kind of papermaking machine.Preferably, the drainage element described in the aforementioned Benz patent should comprise and is disclosed in porose (foraminous) part described in the United States Patent (USP) 4,514,345 of authorizing people such as Johnson on April 30th, 1985.The open part that the present invention introduces these patents as a reference.The fiber embryo width of cloth of Zhi Zaoing can use the known common drying mode of field of papermaking those of ordinary skill further dry as mentioned above.For example compress woollen blanket, hot cover, infra-red radiation, blow through exsiccator and Yankee exsiccator, they can also can be used in combination separately.Particularly preferred drying means is to use the compression woollen blanket earlier, uses the Yankee exsiccator then.
Make the group of fibers component of the wet-laying that can obtain having hole density range and percentage of open area scope in this way.As used in this, term " hole density " is used to refer on group of fibers component surface the number in hole per square inch, and term " percentage of open area " is defined as the part that fiber does not occupy on the group of fibers component, is expressed as a percent.Preferred hole density is (1 hole every square centimeter) and about 400 holes per square inch between (62 hole every square centimeter) per square inch in about 9 holes.More preferably hole density is (3 hole every square centimeter) and about 111 holes per square inch between (17 hole every square centimeter) per square inch in about 20 holes.The preferred percentage of open area of the preferred foraminous wet-laying group of fibers component of the present invention is between about 20% to about 50%.More preferably aperture area is between about 30% to about 40%.The hole density of the group of fibers component of particularly preferred wet-laying is about 81 holes (6 hole every square centimeter) per square inch, and aperture area is approximately 36%.
The batching of this fabric also comprises a kind of temporary transient wet strengthening resin.This temporary transient wet strengthening resin helps top flat 24 to keep mechanical integrity in the use of sanitary towel 20, but it does not disturb the dispersibility of top flat 24 in sanitary towel's 20 flushing processes.Suitable temporary transient wet strengthening resin is can (Stanford, the polyacrylamide resin of the Acetic acid,oxo-,monohydrate esterification that CT) obtains, the trade mark are Parez from Cytec IndustriesInc. TMParticularly preferably be Parez TM631 NC.Work as Parez TM631 NC with in the porose fabric that is used in wet-laying in about 0.5% to about 1.0% amount the time, top flat 24 in use mechanical integrity and the dispersibility when handling aspect reach gratifying balance.
This preferred fabric does not have bore portion at the health face and also has a large amount of fibril (fibrils) 54 or " hair ".These fibrils 54 are by separating the surface wettability characteristic that has reduced top flat 24 with wearer's health and any body fluid that can retain in the cellulose health face among the top flat 24A.Table 2 compared top flat 24 the surface wettability characteristic and be used for commercially available sanitary towel (from Kimberly Clark Corp.Neenah, the KO TEX of WI OVERNITES) nonwoven top flat.

Resin-coating material C A-105 does not have
Fibril density 4500 fibril/square inches do not obtain
Surface moist 0.39g 0.49g compares with common nonwoven top flat as can be seen from Table 2, and the preferred top flat of the present invention has improved to a certain degree surface moist.Fibril 54 also makes honorable 24A have pleasant velvety sense of touch.
Fibril 54 preferably includes and is used to apply egative film 26 and makes its not identical waterproof resin material of material of saturating body fluid (CA-105).But following application process only is applied to this waterproof resin material the health face 24A part of top flat 24.Fibril density can about 500 fibrils per square inch (every square centimeter of 77 fibril) change between (every square centimeter of 1700 fibril) per square inch to about 11,000 fibrils.Preferred fibril density about 3000 fibrils per square inch (every square centimeter of 450 fibril) to the variation in (every square centimeter of 775 fibril) scope per square inch of about 5000 fibrils.Fibril length can change between about 0.003 inch (0.07mm) to about 0.04 inch (1.0mm).Preferred fibril length is between about 0.004 inch (0.1mm) and 0.01 inch (0.3mm).The applicant finds that the selection of fibril length and fibril density allows surface wettability and other top flat characteristic (comprising sense of touch) to change to reach the desirable balance of these characteristics.
Using this resin material preferable methods is to be similar to above-mentioned relevant egative film 26 described executing to change the screen printing method.But can understand stamp or spray other method that this resin sprays thing also is that the present invention considers.Such method comprises the spiral spraying, vaporific spraying, straight line spraying, intaglio plate stamp and aniline stamp.Because the fibril of rotary screen printing method energy production ideal dimensions and density also also can be implemented with high paper web linear velocity, so be most preferred.Should also be noted that stamp station 105 as shown in Figure 3, single stamp station is the substrate 102 whole necessary parts that are used to provide fibril 54.
It is variant that coated substrate 102 (referring to Fig. 3) makes its appropriate method that is suitable for use as egative film 26 and coated substrate 102 that it is suitable between the tangential velocity that main difference between the appropriate method make top flat 24 is the transporting velocity of substrate 102 and graining roll 110.Still with reference to figure 3.For the suitable method of coated substrate 102 as top flat 24, the tangential velocity of transporting velocity and graining roll 110 basic identical (being that speed difference is approximately zero).This means the CA-105 resin be stamp on substrate 102 rather than obliterating to net surface.The rheology of CA-105 when being controlled at graining roll 110 upper screen cloth patterns and control molten state, CA-105 prints as above-mentioned fibril 54.Preferred graining roll 110 includes the screen cloth of hexagon interlocking net pattern, and its average pore size is that 0.035 inch and the temperature of keeping resin material are between 200 °F (93 ℃) to about 250 °F (121 ℃).
Adopt above-mentioned preferred screen printing method, fibriilar formation is soluble as follows.Hole on the screen cloth is enough little and resin material 200 viscosity are very big so that resin material itself can not flow through the hole on the screen cloth.Wing 112 force resin material 200 fill up screen cloth the hole so that the meniscus of resin material 200 dangle to bottom surface 108 from screen cloth.Under the situation of graining roll 110 and bottom surface 108 (being shown in a roller in the embodiment preferred among Fig. 3) rotation, screen cloth touches the substrate 102 of 108 roll gaps of graining roll 110 and bottom surface.The meniscus of resin material 200 is transferred on the substrate 102 from sieve screen apertures.Under screen cloth and the isolating situation of stamp net, cohesive force in the resin material and the adhesive tension between resin material and the screen surface cause that part resin material 200 upwards is pulled away from substrate 102 up to the elastic limit of its separating distance above resin material, makes this material break to form fibriilar upper end.This breakaway poing can have the thermometal line/thermometal band 115 of preset distance to control by using with graining roll 110 and bottom surface 108, and this is known in this area.The control breakaway poing produces the fibril of ideal noise diode and ideal form in this mode.
Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 have described the alternative web frame of the present invention.As describing among Fig. 7, group of fibers component 52 does not comprise discrete hole, as the hole 50 of being painted among Fig. 5 and Fig. 6.But be enough to make it can be applied to the liquid transport capacity of absorbent device for keeping, this net comprises abundant inherent porous.The same with the net among Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, fibril 54 be in shape stamp on the uppermost surface of this net, rather than only on surface region between the hole.In addition, if desired, the zone with fibril 54 can be arbitrary shape, pattern or effective coverage, and its density can be uniform or heterogeneous.
